i'd love to enter, but i have some questions

would they let me enter with a leaking water pump?

can i borrow a helmet, or do they lend them out or something?

can i join SDMA on the day or is it worth sending my form off during the week?

do i enter on their web site or how does that work?

i sent my CAMS licence forms away last week and kept the 30 day licence part, they accept that dont they?

and last but not least, do i need to mount the fire extinguisher with a certain type of screw/bolt, like high speed steel or something?

whoa soo many questions :P

Questions are gooooood, it means you're interested :)

1) Depends how bad it is, do you want us to have a look at it and let you know?

2) I should have a open face one here you can try on for size

3) You can join SDMA (and for those who haven't, CAMS as well) on the day, just put that on the form where it says member number, just say "new member, will pay on Sunday"

4) Easiest way to enter is to right click the entry download link, save the file, edit with your details - you are the entrant (owner) and driver so need to fill same details in both sections - in the CAMS licence section I would say you have the 30 day slip but no number yet - pay the $70 into the SDMA bank account listed and copy/paste the receipt details into an email and attach the entry form and send to the email address listed on the form (BEFORE 8pm Wednesday to get the saving).

5) I would call CAMS and ask them to fax a confirmation to you that they have received your application as a backup

6) and last but not least - No special screws required

I think you will enjoy this, it doesn't have the wear and tear of circuit racing, but has the time trials fun of trying to beat your previous time. The club is also very supportive.

I'll PM my mobile number and if you want to swing by, give me a yell.

I'll be there taking photos, Both my car and the friends car I was suppose to use as a back up have come across a few more dramas........such is life....lol

Would of liked to have gone to this, but have a CISCO exam I really should study for on the next day :down:, so a no go for me. I will get on there one day. I am still good to go for Texikhana.

Why don't you come out for a look and start getting a feel for it

Agreed! And the Formula Holden is more fun to see in real life than just the pics. Nice driving Michele (I assume noone beat you after I left). Thanks for the info/help, I'll have a bash next time :blush:

Fastest Time of Day :blush::blush:;):bunny: :bunny: :bunny::(:):banana:

they said I made history with the club by being the first lady to ever take out FTD and they said quite possibly made history for Hillclimbs in general

Congratulations to Jeno (Tarmac), Jo and Chris (unSteadyEddie) who all achieved PB's today.

I'll let everyone know about the next hillclimb in May as we get closer, after that there won't be any hillclimbs in June, but they will make up for it with a 2 lap event in July but will only allow 40 entries.

Anyone who joins SDMA between now and July will have their licences through to end June 2009 (bonus months) so it would be great to have you there... if you are a member of SAU, you can get an SDMA day membership for $10 (limit 3 times a year) but can be credited that money if you join (towards membership)

They take a few days to publish the results and I'll put them up here when they come through... in the meantime, my best time today was 44.57

Tarmac, Jo & Steady can post up what their PB's were today.

    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way. Simples
    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
